With obesity becoming a common cause of problem among people, several countries are growing to become the preferred hubs of the billion dollar market for the weight loss surgeries. A huge number of weight loss surgeries are conducted in the metropolitan centers across the globe.

And the people, who are overweight, do not just have to shed the extra kilos, but they also have to combat the diseases they are suffering due to the excessive weight.

Smoking greatly raises the risks of obesity weight loss surgery, as the astringent blood vessels reduce the flow of blood.

A history of alcohol and drug abuse can also raise the chances and complications in the surgery.

Obesity weight loss surgery or laparoscopic gastric banding can be performed on the adults who fall in the age group of 18-65. But this trend has become more common in adolescents over the years. It has become an emerging trend among the youth. For them it’s the shortcut for getting a lean and slim body. People also do not mind paying a few extra bucks, as the bariatric surgery cost in India is not very much. But a surgery must only be considered if all the other non-surgical methods and diet fail.
